I think it's pretty clear there's a problem with the software.
When the Data Roaming toggle is set to "Off", no data should be used - yet people have reported getting email as soon as they turn on their phone in another country.
Got a tip for us?

Is the 'fix' that carriers won't charge customers for Apple uploading spy data via data connection?
A few posts a go someone said it was to do ios 3.1.3 so since that is obsolete...
Because a sample of people are using a certain IOS version and going abroad.
Because it's a bug!
It's not supposed to happen, but under a certain set of conditions it does.
Most people don't use data roaming, so I'd imagine that most people wont even have the possibility of this happening.
I pull the SIM on mine when I travel internationally so I can still use free wi-fi where it is available.
This is not practical. What if you get an SMS or a call?
I travel abroad a lot and was never hit with a roaming data charge. Something is fishy about this article.
I'm wondering if people think turning off 3G constitutes turning data off entirely, and thus data is still going over EDGE/GPRS and they're getting charged.
Could be. A lot of people still have no idea what the settings are for on their phones.
